Meno to Mr. Belmont ak eT Re: Central Intelligence Agency
; Information Received from James
Angleton

Intelligence @ivision. Angleton handles special cases of a various
nature and he is usualiy given considerable freedom and leeway in
directing the operations of his unit. In general, he ts responsible
only to the Director of CIA. e has numerous foreign sources and
channels for developing infor ton. The primary source is the[Tsraeli
Intelligence Service.WS\in addition to this, he is tn contact with
5\j Jay Lovestone,]who pértedically makes available te Angleton copies
reports which Lovestoné} has received fromfAmerican Federation of (8)
Labor) representa vi ives throughout thé world. “Phese representatt vesey
are sociated with the Free Trade Union Committee, which ts sub-
Sidized by the CIA. Angleton also has independent sources in the
intelligence services of France, Italy, Greece, and Great Britain.
On occasion he utilizes sources in the Vatican. Some of the men
under his control are on various foretgn assignments in Furope and
are responsible only to him. Most of them are traveling under.
_ commercial cover.

During the past several months Angleton has been very
cooperative with the Bureau. He has volunteered voluminous infor
mation of interest to the Bureau and he has followed Bureau leads
tn an effective manner. Much of the information which Angleton
has furnished appears in the raw form, that is, it consists of the
actual reports received from Angleton's sources. This has been of
advantage because the Bureau has been in a position to better evaluate
the information instead of waiting for the delay and processing through
normal channels in the CIA. In addition to information regarding
Security matters furnished by Angleton, he has also been of valuable
assistance by keeping the Liaison Agent apprised of administrative
changes and reorganization within the CIA. Angleton is thoroughly \
informed regarding the foreign intelligence activities of his agency
and he frequently clarifies matters which the CIA_sometimes camouflages
with some of its cloak and dagger techniques. fy u) ;

For your information, Angleton was instructed by General.
Walter Bedell Smith, while he was still Director of the cra, [to u)
cooperate fully with the Liaison Agent and was told that he,
Angleton, could disseminate any information he saw sits] This policy
has continued under Allen Dulles.

Since the volume of information received from Angleton ul
has inereased the Liaison Agent has endeavored to encourage Angleton
te establish some uniformity in the dissemination of information to

furnishing th taison Agent blank memoranda which are dated,

This number will serve as a ready reference when some question
comes up within the Bureau or the CITA. The Liaison Agent will make
@n appropriate notation on each memorandum indicating that the
documents emanate from Angleton. It is believed advisable to set

Angleton. fhis can be done in a@ manner similar to the arrangement

In view of the above, ‘Angleton more or less falls into
the category of a Confidential Informant. He furnishes information
of a sensitive nature and it is, therefore, believed that when
disseminating his data, he should be protected as a source. Up to
date Supervisors have been handling this information in a secure
manners; however, since the volume of data received from Angléton
has increased, it is believed desirable to alert all Section Chiefs
regarding the handling of information received from Angleton. (RI(u)
